Ugly Sweater

Got a chance to catch Ugly Sweater during its latest film festival run. This film and the team behind it are fun and hyper-creative. Great watch! The usual joy of the christmas setting is a perfect backdrop to this coming of age story of Ruby and her friends as they face challenges from all angles that threaten thier relationships and their futures. The use of stop-motion animation takes this film to the next level and helps to offer a unique view of anxiety and the pressures teens face as they deal the gravity of graduation and college prospects. The performances are strong, the visuals are stunning, the directing is heartfelt and visionary. All in all, get the fam together this holiday season and give Ugly Sweater a watch!
